Jobcoin - widget distributed applied to job ads

Jobcoin, which has been around for few months now, today officially launched its widget based service that enables display of job ads on blogs and sites. Much like any other widget based service, Jobcoin is sourcing job ads data from Indeed.com and displaying relevant jobs in the widget. As expected Jobcoin pays the blog/site owners when their visitors apply to these jobs. Jobcoin is also working on setting up a FeedBurner FeedFlare to get relevant Jobcoin job listings onto publishers RSS feeds. Currently the startup is targeting lows to highs of blogosphere with premium Jobcoin service being available for sites with more than 5 million page views per month.

This service is similar to Jobamatic service launched by Simply Hired earlier this year. As I had indicated in Jobamatic’s case, the relevancy and control over which ads can be displayed is more important than just displaying the ads and rev-sharing. Right now the site is down for maintenance. Would check the job relevancy once it is backup.
